This month it's Candice's turn to pick the challenge and she chose 'All that Glitters is Gold' we are looking for your lovely metallic gold or glittery gold projects, I've loved seeing the DT's interpretations and I can't wait to see yours too!

Glitter,
glitter, glitter!!! I used tons of sparkle and shine to go along with
my princesses. They are surely full of all things that glitter. I adore
Sarah Hurley Oz line and used that as my background. I added some tid
bits from one of the wonderful kits which came with the most cutest
stamps. With a few added layers but still keeping this page clean and
simple it surely highlights my little girls!﻿

I used the Large Texture Stamp - Crackle to create my glittery gold
embossed background on my tag. This stamp is superb! All the other
elements are from various Sarah Hurley kits. I used gold distress stain
on the background of the tag, and I also used it on the seam binding to
turn my white seam binding gold!

I made a tag using the Dream A Little Dream set of stamps and for my contribution to the All That Glitters Is Gold challenge, I used gold gilding flakes on the background and sprayed the handmade roses with Rich Gold Cosmic Shimmer spray, to give them a shimmery gold effect.

On an 8x8" card, I have used Sarah's mini textures stamps to create the background, using distress inks, gold embossing powder and also gilding flakes. Then made the decoupaged items using Sarah's Doodle home stamps and more gilding flakes. In the top left corner I couldn't resist adding some gold thread and used Sarah's Stitch & Doodle mask from the last months kit.

I have used Sarah's Elephant PI stamp and the sentiment is from the Dream A Little dream set.

Ria

Ria used gold glitter to embellish the feather for her card

Ian

I decided to use the Book worm kit, because I
thought it would go well with the book templates I had. I used two of the
character embellishments and one of the Book Worm embellishments to make the
“Good luck with your Exams” keepsake.

Tania

Tania used a stamp from the 'A Few of My Favourite Things... kits and one from the Odds and Ends set and a die cut to create this stunning card!

Hi everyone, Nicole here to announce the new challenge. This months challenge is all about 'Shades of Blue'! A few of us on this team seem to have a love of all things blue, and shades of blue. So we are celebrating it, let us see your projects including lots of blue!

There is some fantastic inspiration from the team, including our new guest and team members!!

I used Serif Craft Artist and the Gatsby by Sarah Hurley
digi kit. I pulled on some materials and cut them with the digi
scissors. I made a frame out of the Art Deco blue embellishment and
popped in my picture. I then used some more embellishments to finish of
the project.
Our newest DT members

I
used craft artist to create all the hexagons from the blue papers from 4
if Sarah Hurley kits (couldn't decide on which, so went for them all
:-D). The tin man coloured with promarkers (ice grey 1, 2, & 4, and
finished with powder blue) spellbinders a4 embossing folder and a bit of
chipped sapphire DI. All made on a 8x8 card.

I used the Steampunk kit and pulled out all the blue elements I fancied out of them. I did need some kraft in there for contrast too! I added the ink splatters as no good creation happens without a bit of a mess, right?!

I used Gatsby collection, I placed the greeting on a journaling tag in Craft Artist software, then printed this and the matching papers onto card. I placed the greeting journaling tag on 3D tape for dimension. I used pearls as the only embellishments for my CAS card.

I used Sarah's fabulous Mini Textures Stamps and Faded Jeans Distress Ink to create my background and octagon embellies (which have been glazed). I repeated the process to make my topper and then stamped the Top Hat from the Love and Marriage Clear Stamp Set.
